Analyis of the race

A 0-115 novice handicap hurdle run at a decent gallop went to THE GREAT ALFIE, who was stepping up to 3m for his handicap debut. and improved for it. Ridden from off the pace, he steadily closed from the fourth-last, and produced at the final flight,ran on in good style to gain the upper hand on the run-in. He should continue on the upgrade.

My Arch has improved all season and he showed that he stays this trip well enough, for he travelled well and stayed on well only to lose out in a drivingfinish. He should continue to give a good account.

Heez A Steel kept on to finish fourth, with Paradise Bay, who had every chance two, but faded to finish fifth ahead of Stravaigin, who is high in the weights now.

Von Galen made mistakes and was well behind when pulled up.
